Carbon filters for domestic water treatment are increasingly popular, but many water treatment professionals may not realize the impact carbon's 'mesh size' can have on a filter's performance. Mesh size, which indicates the range of particles sizes in a particular carbon product, is an important physical consideration. Other physical properties of activated carbon include its apparent density, which refers to its weight-to-volume ratio; and its abrasion resistance, which refers to its ability to withstand degradation during handling, backwashing and reactivation.

Process: To recover aluminium scrap from plastic foil.
A Glosfume high temperature ceramic filter system replaced an existing bag filter that had suffered severe corrosion. This was due to being operated at low temperatures, combined with extremely high HCl levels, during aluminium scrap decoating.
Lime injection provided inadequate HCl removal and led to problems with CaCl2 `setting` in the bag filter house. The problem was eventually overcome by utilising...

In order to improve the dissolution property of poorly water-soluble drugs, solid dispersion methods have been used and described in the recent years such as fusion, solvent evaporation or spray drying.
Kollidon® 30 is a polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer soluble in water and many organic solvents. It is used as excipient in the pharmaceutical industry for the microencapsulation of drugs.

For enhancing the partial nitritation-anammox (PN/A) process, the effects of granule fraction on system performance were investigated in this study. Two sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) were inoculated with PN/A biomass with a floc mass fraction of 53%. In SBR1, when the nitrogen removal rate (NRR) was stable, flocculent sludge was gradually discharged from the reactor using a screen, and the granule fraction was therefore increased. However, nitrogen removal was not improved and finally deteriorated due to the...

ORGANIC FERTILIZER PRODUCTION PLANT DESIGN AND PROCESS
1.Receiving Dehydrated Cake (sewage sludge)
Dehydrated cake discharged from the sewage plants and business establishments is transported by dump truck to the material tank and stored.
2. Mixing-in
Dehydrated cake and a large volume of compost that serves as an inoculum and a moisture adjusting medium are mixed in using a wheel loader. Thus, the optimum fermentation condition for microbial activity is prepared.
3. First Fermentation
Adjusted sewage...
